3-Hydroxyvaleric acid (3-hydroxypentanoic acid) is the organic compound with the formula Template:Chem2. It is one of the hydroxypentanoic acids.[1] It is made from odd carbon fatty acids in the liver and rapidly enters the brain. As opposed to 4-carbon ketone bodies, 3-hydroxyvaleric acid is anaplerotic, meaning it can refill the pool of TCA cycle intermediates. The triglyceride triheptanoin is used clinically to produce 3-hydroxyvalerate (the carboxylate form).[2]

Properties

  • Solubility in water: 784.8 g/L at 25 °C (estimated)[3]
